The La Niña weather cycle is forecasted to continue this summer. It historically brings a surplus of precipitation to the plains of the northern hemisphere. It saved a few Saskatchewan farmers from bankruptcy last year.
El Niño brings heat and dry and it's forecasted to return late fall or early winter. The Arctic amplification is heating the north 2-4X faster than the rest of the planet. I watch Uguvut TV. The Inuit have been talking about the change in their weather for years now.
The ice packs break up earlier than before and polar bears regularly come into their communities to scavenge for food. Global warming is overriding natural weather cycles like ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) and we are in trouble. Image

Do you remember that mathematics professor from Australia who said ethnic minorities don't have to learn math because they can just use songs and smoke signals?

I remembered her today when all those Africans informed me they won't read any books as those were written by whites.
Oh, ok, that makes sense. White people have the wrong "positionality" so you don't have to read any books they write.

Using a word like "positionality" suggests this is what she learned in college - that black people don't need to read as that is "whiteness". Image
You don't need European mathematics either

"students of under-represented and minority groups and colonised peoples are starting to be more critical about accepting unquestioningly the cultural hegemony of mainstream European-based mathematics,” says Professor Rowena Ball" Image

I've seen a lot of takes that Orbán's defeat means that he was never an authoritarian in the first place.

This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism.

Here's why.
Hungary under Orbán was not a classic fascist or monarchical regime. It was a species of what political scientists call "competitive authoritarianism" — where elections are generally free, meaning not formally rigged, but held under extremely unfair conditions.
Competitive authoritarian regimes do repression differently. Instead of locking up critics or stuffing ballot boxes, they use softer tools to suppress the opposition — like buying up media, rigging campaign finance rules, and gerrymandering,

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "A COMMENTARY ON Yom HaShoah,

27th OF NISAN, APRIL. 14TH

Yes. I know that January 27th is observed as the so-called International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
1)
That day commemorates the liberation of the largest extermination camp by the Soviet Red Army
And for many years at the UN, commemorations mentioned the tragedy of the Holocaust by barely acknowledging the Jewish people were the only people targeted for total genocide
2)
In recent years, the global community has made an effort to build memorials to those who were murdered, and museums to provide educational opportunities—and all of that is good.

1/10 The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would cost Iran approximately $276M/day in lost exports and disrupt $159M/day in imports, a combined economic damage of ~$435M/day, or $13B/month.

Over 90% of Iran's $109.7B in annual trade transits the Persian Gulf. Oil/gas accounts for 80% of government export earnings and 23.7% of GDP. Kharg Island alone generates ~$53B/year, or as I noted to @TIME, "$78 billion a year in energy revenue.
2/10 CRUDE OIL: Iran was exporting ~1.5M barrels/day, earning $139M/day at wartime pricing (~$87/barrel), though with minimal proceed repatriation due to banking sanctions. A blockade zeroes this out overnight. Kharg Island, which handles 92% of crude exports, sits deep inside the Gulf with no viable alternative. That's $139M/day, gone.
3/10 PETROCHEMICALS: Iran exported $19.7B in petrochemicals in 9 months of 2024/25, ~$54M/day. Virtually all of it ships through Assaluyeh, Imam Khomeini, and Shahid Rajaee, all inside the blockade zone. No overland route can move these volumes. Another $54M/day, gone.

OLYMPICS: Are there men with androgenic competitive advantage that would be elegible to compete against women in the Los Angeles Olympics, even after screening negative for SRY? Yes. Although very rare, a few cases would scape the SRY screening.
These were called 46,XX men (more correct and updated 46,XX DSD), and in 80–90% of 46,XX DSD cases, they have testicles and male phenotype because they do have a SRY gene, translocaten from a Y chromosome to an X chromosome during paternal meiosis.
Those are mostly phenotypically males, and even if they decide to compete with females, they would test positive in the initial SRY screening. They often have normal male internal and external genitalia and presents to an assisted reproductive center in adulthood for infertility.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “How stupid do they think we all are (or are they right to assume that)? Negotiations with Iran.

Iran comes into the negotiations and makes the following minimal demands.
1)
Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran charging tolls of $2 million per ship transversing the place (in violation of international maritime law).

Reparations from the USA and the Arabs.
2)
Well, we can stop there. The rest of their demands are as absurd. But the American officials are the fools for assuming there is something to discuss.”

This is yet but another example of how the UN has failed.

Outrage at UN: Democracies Enable Iran, China, Cuba to Oversee Human Rights Bodies

1)unwatch.org/outrage-at-un-…
This is yet but another example of how the UN has failed.

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) nominated Iran to a body called the “Committee for Programme and Coordination” (CPC).
2)
That committee deals with UN planning and coordination, and its work includes areas like:
human rights
women’s issues
disarmament
counterterrorism
